Anti Discrimination.

Senator Cooper has been for some time
preparing an Anti Discrimination bill,
which will be recommended by ,he eau
Gus committee. OF which Mr.. Rutan IS
chairman. The Republican platform
pledged the party 20 adopt the CullOm
TIL. and the under standing vas that the
bii! was 10 Ue merely an adaptation Of
tie Cu!lutn bill from iuteI-stat 10 state
traits by verbal changes. Instead OF
literally adherIng TO that plsn, Cooper
now declares tuaJ the pledge Of the Re
publican Convention applied only 10
frrignt and did not cover passenger bus
iness. The CullUm bill has accordingly
been modified 10 apply Outy TO freight,
though Chairman Cooper, during the
fall campaign, sent out 500. coo circulars
claiming that the Republican party was
pledged 10 do everything which that bill
aimed TO do. The CuIiOm biI. covered
both passengers and freight. a nun Der
Of legislators are now charging that this
Is a Case OF false pretense, and that the
party ought TO keep the pledges which
Governor Beaver made in good faith
Chairman Cooper is expecting TO hOld
the party lash over legislators because
the Convention of the Republican parry
made pledge to the people, but Cooper
has himself departed from the pledge by
making OtAer Changes IN the OlI besides
those which were necessary fOf the
adaptation of bIlI regulating inter state
traffic to The regulation of state Traffic.
He has gone so far as 20 give shippers
the option either Jf making Complaint
to the Com omission. or of bringing suit
IN the courts, as the InttT-S ate Com
merce bill provides. Since Chairman
Cooper has taken The liberty of conSjTu
ing the pledge of the Republican Con-
ventiou 20 suit his ideas, or rather The
IDEAS of the raj road attorneys who IL al
ly dTaIted the bill, other Republican
members of the Legislature claim the
right To exercise the same discretion
and while they admit that the RepuUl-
CAL Convention, which discussed the
Question of raIlIUad regulation Tor Uuiy
hye minutes, had The power and right 10
bind every memOeI of the party To d
pledge for proper and Effective ali usl-
menJ of the railroad question, II had no
right to prescribe the details by which
such All adjustment might be brought
about. This issue will be the principal
one on which the Republican caucus
will divide, and il is not Improbable that
a serious break may occur OH this point.
